I like used tools and so should you, we all use them. Learn how to shape and sharpen tools and even badly abused tools can be returned to great condition. I have bought a lot of good turning tools off EBay. All as single tools, for a fraction of their regular price.
Here's a tip for you if you use EBay much, learn how to spell like a moron. Sorby can be listed as Sorby, Soarby, Sorbee, Sorbey and Sorbay. If you do a search and spell it correctly you will only find those tools listed correctly and so will all the other bidders but you miss the poorly listed items. If you search for the odd, miss-spelled versions, no one else will find them and you can pick and choose. Buy a 1" Sorby bowl gouge for $9.99, as the only bidder, and you feel like its Christmas.
Also look at large groups of tools. Sometimes in a group of average Craftsman tools you will find Sorby or Henry Taylor tools mixed in. So the group of 50 dollar tools has two or three tools worth that much alone. Also turning tools will often be listed as carving tools and vice versa.
I bought both of my Tormek sharpeners that way, Tormek not Tormeck. Both for less than $200.00 with attachments. Sold off the duplicate attachments and have less than a hundred bucks in each machine.
